Applications for certificates of naturalisation from the persons referred to by the Deputy were received in the citizenship section of my Department on 30 December 2003. A fourth application was also received at the same time from the spouse of one of the persons concerned. I have been informed that processing of the four applications is nearing completion and that the files will be submitted to me for decision in the near future. I will be in touch with both the Deputy and the applicants when I have reached a decision on the applications.
